Good People
Bates Jeff Lyrics

My cousin bobby's on the county road
My cousin bobby is currently working on the side of the road as part of his sentence for stealing a car.

Pickin' up trash for the car he stole
He's performing community service by cleaning up litter, as a consequence for stealing a car.

You see him in them orange clothes you'd swear he's evil
When you see him wearing orange clothing, he looks like he's been punished or that he is a bad person.

He's had sticky fingers since he was a kid
Bobby has been a thief since he was young.

If it wasn't nailed down considered it his
If something wasn't secure, Bobby would take it as his own.

For the lyin' cheatin' dog he is he's good people
Despite the fact that Bobby is deceitful and dishonest, he still has good qualities and is a good person.

[Chorus:]
Refrain

Good people they ain't bad
People who are good have positive qualities and should not be judged solely on their negative traits.

Good people they get ya back in a fight
Good people will support and defend you in times of conflict.

Loan ya couple bucks
They would lend you some money.

Buy you a beer when you're down on your luck
Good people will cheer you up and make you feel better when you're feeling down through small gestures like buying you beer.

Too bad their ain't more of us good people
It's unfortunate that there aren't more people with positive qualities like generosity and kindness.

Girl down the street in that double wide
There is a girl who lives in the mobile home down the street.

She ain't ashamed of them no tan-lines
She is proud of her body, with or without tan lines.

She's 36-24-35 and barely legal
She has a desirable body shape that corresponds to measurements of 36-inch bust, 24-inch waist, and 35-inch hips. She is also just old enough to be considered an adult.

She gotta big ol' tattoo on her back
She has a large tattoo on her back.

All the wives on the block says she's white trash
The other women living in the neighborhood describe her with a derogatory term 'white trash,' suggesting that they consider her to be of low social class or status.

She may not be high class but she's good people
Although she may be considered low class by the other women on the block, she has good qualities and is a good person.

[Chorus]
Refrain

Good people they ain't bad
People who are good have positive qualities and should not be judged solely on their negative traits.

Good people give you the shirt off their back
Good people are generous and willing to give their possessions and help, even if it means going without or being inconvenienced.

Never steer you wrong
They will always try to advise and guide you in a good way, and will not deceive or mislead you.

Go outta' their way to make you feel at home
Good people will make an effort to make you comfortable and at ease in their presence.

Raise hell stand up let me hear ya if you?re one of us
Encouraging others to be proud and vocal about being good people, and to stand up and be recognized and counted as one of them.

Good people
